News Blast for Sunday, November 30, 2025

*For November we will be collecting Women’s Sanitary  Products for Community Action. For December we will be collecting tooth brushes and tooth paste.

*Giving Tree of Sauk County – We have just a few items remaining for our Giving Tree. Please take an ornament and help this family in need. Each child gets 4 gifts - underwear/socks/diapers, a toy, and 2 articles of clothing. The family also gets a $25 gift card (I’m thinking generic such as Visa vs specific store). All gifts need to be delivered to Holy Cross by Sunday, November 30, 2025

*Sunday, November 30, 2025 will be our fifth Sunday fellowship meal with our Methodist brothers and sisters. Please bring a dish to share if you are able. Fellowship and meal will start directly after our service. We ask that you plan to stay after to help with the cleanup. Many hands make light work. There will be no adult Study this Sunday.

*Pastor Anita invites us all to join her on Monday, December 1, 2025 at 5:00 in the Fellowship Hall for a chili dinner and movie. This is the perfect movie to get us into the Advent spirit. “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” is a delightful film for all ages and will start immediately following dinner.

*Mark your calendars! Plan on joining us at 10:15 on Sunday, December 21 for a Christmas cookie/treat exchange. Bring two dozen of our favorite holiday treats to exchange with your Episcopal/Methodist brother and sisters. You will get to take home two dozen of deliciousness (that you didn’t have to make) for Christmas Day.

*Our Christmas Eve service will be at 7:00 p.m. this year.
